Diet is still much the same, had a higher carb day on the weekend, ate some rice and vegetable, vegan curry pie and some pumpkin pie thing (just pumpkin and some other vegetables fried in olive oil). I've been staying around 3-4kg above my contest weight and have been feeling pretty strong eating the way I have for the last couple of months now. I'll keep my off seasons like this from now on.Yesterday's meals were -Meal 1 - Protein custard (for want of a better word) - Sunwarrior powder, agave nectar, raw almonds and cashews, cocoa powder, maca powder, coconut butter, flax seeds and spirulina (only a teaspoon). I blend it up and keep in fridge overnight, tastes really nice.Meal 2 - Lentil burger (made my own with the vegan burger mix and just soaked and cooked some lentils to add to it, cooked on grill so I didn't need any oil). Ate it with some beetroot and kale and avocado.Meal 3 - Seaweed salad and tofuMeal 4 - Amino acid drink during training. Aminos, creatine, Vega sport, half a lemon and half a lime.Meal 5 - Protein drink. Sunwarrior, blueberries, strawberries, creatine, maca powder, chia seeds. Meal 6 - Same as meal 2, no avocado though as I had piece of my dark chocolate which has enough fats in it.

Joel- your meals dont look very big... are you eating large or smaller portions?

My meals are not all that big, I eat about 150-175g serves of tofu/tempeh or whatever. Fats make up a lot of my calories. I'm really not all that active to justify eating too much more protein though. It all seems to work for me.

I've pretty much been eating similar meals for a while now, kind of dieting without really putting too much thought into it. As progress slows down I'll look at reducing calories here and there but I'm still losing weight at the moment, down to 80-81kg in the morning, easily on track to get below 80kg in the next couple of months. I'm hoping to keep as much strength as possible dieting like I am.

I agree the warming up and the stretching helps it is just hard to make yourself do it consistently.

Agreed. I think it is paying off now, I'm getting less sore and feeling pretty good.

Trained this morning, the weekend was a bit hectic with family stuff so didn't get to fit in all my training.Had a good workout today though, still feeling very strong even though I've lost a lot of weight from dieting. I'm sitting just under 80kg now, which is the lightest I've been in a long time but also probably the leanest I've been too, including my comps. Guess I need to diet for longer from now on for the bodybuilding shows, as this is proving.

My diet from yesterday, similar as usualMeal 1 - Handful of cashews, small piece of dark chocolate (my high protein choc)Meal 2 - Nutmeat, lentils, tofu, spinach leaves, cucumber and olive oilMeal 3 - Protein shake - Sunwarrior, coconut water, maca powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds and an appleMeal 4 - Tempeh, broccoli and avocadoMeal 5 - Same as meal 1 but less cashews and had some goji berriesMeal 6 - Same as meal 2. Didn't really have much time to cook, so just used canned organic lentils and nutmeat. I try not to eat too much nutmeat, as much as I like it, I'm not a huge fan of eating a lot of gluten.

Trained this morning, have been feeling pretty strong considering I'm dieting and losing weight. Have decided I will compete in the bodybuilding shows in April and May. Weighed in at 79kg this morning, lightest I have been in a long time.
